Re: SANDRACO

denacallahan1 — 2009-10-20 15:45:36Z

I'm the granddaughter of John Sandraco, the one who lived in Michigan (the address given was correct), and it was actually me who found your name on the internet. We think that your father was my grand-father's half brother. We think this based on the information given (Boxer, moved to Chicago, his name was John Sandraco). All we wanted to know was: 1) Was his full name John Sandraco? Where was he originally from? What was he like?

My grandmother said that my grandfather's dad left when he was an infant, that he and my great-grandmother might not have even been married; etc. Yes, our family history says that my great-grandfather was a boxer and that he moved to Chicago; but that is all the info we have. Do you know where he originally came from? We were assuming Italy or Sicily, but we have no info. I was looking online because I wanted to put together a family tree; but without a name I can't do much. When I have contacted you in the past I wasn't married so I was contacting you under the name Dena Luckett.

Please, if you think that your father could be my grandfather's half brother please contact me at denacallahan@yahoo.com

Re: Kamyszek, Strzelecki, Jaracz (Yarch), Dembny Ancestors

rogerhastings1 — 2009-09-08 02:57:40Z

Mike,

Jacob Strzelecki was a violin player at weddings in the Posen/Metz area around the turn of the century. I have a photo of him holding a violin. The photo has been in my family since 1899. There is a relative living in Pennsylvania who might be able to help you, along with that I know others who trade and give freely. Feel free to write me at rogerhastings@att.net

Re: Kamyszek, Strzelecki, Jaracz (Yarch), Dembny Ancestors

rogerhastings1 — 2009-09-08 02:51:06Z

John,

My great grandfather was Jacob Jaracz who later changed his name to Yarch. He and his family eventually moved to Rogers City, Michigan. One of Jake's neices had a copy of her father's Poland birth certificate and lent it to my grandmother several years ago. I translated it and found where the Jaracz' were living in Poland. Someone else in this post sent for films based on that find. I'd be glad to help you. I trade freely. Please feel free to write me at rogerhastings@att.net

Hi! I need more help, please!
1) "Niech odpoczylwa w plkoju" means?
2)Does the suffix "ego" mean anything? For example, the stone says "Wisniewski", but then is says Rozalia zona (Rozalia, wife of )Bartlomieja Wisniewskiego.
3) Does R. P. mean anything? It appears with the dates.(Does the R = Roku meaning year?)
Thanks again for the help!

Lydia use to be a Dodge, and I accidently typed Dodge.

Lydia and William Kellogg is who I was looking for.
I believe they may be buried there, since they lived in Tower

Re: John S Konwinski / Michalina Halupniczak

furgee — 2009-03-23 14:20:41Z

I think you are dealing with a totally different Konwinski group. John S had one brother who lived in Chicago, my ggrandfather, Walenty Konwinski. There was also a 1st cousin who came to Chicago after living in Michigan for a number of years, his name as Stanislaus Konwinski, I have traced this Konwinski line pretty well.

Where did you get the address 1923 W Walcott. Walcott is a north/south street. What year is this address from? If the actual address is 1923 S. Walcott you might want to check the records from St. Casimir Church in Chicago. You might find more info there.

Re: John S Konwinski / Michalina Halupniczak

laurakonwinski — 2009-03-22 05:14:34Z

Hello -
I was reading through your postings and think that I may be the great grandaughter of the very same John S. Konwinski. My father was Andrew Joseph Konwinski, his father was Joseph Walter Konwinski (married to Lucille Zablocki) and for a time they lived at 1923 W. Wolcott, Chicago, IL. I know my grandfather (Joseph Walter) had a brother named John, but I am not sure if that is John S, or if John S is his father. By any chance do you know this line of the Konwinski's?
